CONTAINER FOBHIHE DRY COOLING OF COKE.

Application filed February 1, 1923. Serial No. 616,298.

is the container is formed conically on one side and terminates in a.conveyor belt forming a. discharging arrangement, bymeans of which thecoke can be removed from the container without the delivery of thecooling gases being interrupted.

One example ofcarrying out the subject of the invention is shownin thedrawing.

a is the container in which the coke is cooled, c is the bottom' thereofconsisting at of two hoppers arranged co-axially one over the other, thelower being formed comically on one side; from the annular space 0between the hoppers cooling gases are delivered through the coke fromthe bottom to the top.

so For discharging the container a conveyor belt 1* running on thewheels 7' and the rollers q is provided at the mouth of the lower hopperand is driven in the direction or the arrows by one of the wheels p.

\Vhen the belt is set in motion, the coke on it, which is continuallybeing supplied afresh from the container, is conducted through the sideopening 8 oi the hopper onto the shoot 16 and thence delivered to atruck placed ready below; In order to effect. the hermetic I sealing ofthe container the conveyor belt is enclosed by a casing u which on theshoot side is opened by means of the trap door 1) during the dischargingperiod.

By means of the arrangement here de-.

scribed it. is rendered possible to regulate the speed of dischargingthe coke container at will, at the same time avoiding absolutely anydisturbance of the cooling process' I claim A device for dry coolingcoke comprising a container with a conical bottom, an enclosed spacebelow said container, means for introducing cooling gases through saidenclosed space into the container; a conveyor belt below the conicalbottom and within the enclosed space for discharging the coke, wherebythe coke is discharged without interruptin; the flow of cooling gases.

In testimony whereof I have afiixed my signature in presence of twowitnemes.
